The host can probably decide/suggest what activity to do. I think it was like that in Red Dead Redemption free roam.
Your crazy, GTA V will still be a game experience like most others just with 5 years of polish behind it and some very incredibly skilled artists, coders and designers.
You can compare every game to it as they won't live up to your personal preference but that doesn't mean you can't enjoy them for the own experience they provide. Yes SR4 is a sandbox game but you don't play it for that, you play it for the immature humour and superhero abilities!
It is also great to play other games as it will take your mind off GTA and also make it look 10x better when it does come out
No you're not crazy I'm not even bothering with SR4 knowing this is only a few weeks away.
GTA:IV SP and MP still keeps me entertained and this just looks like its bested that in every way. It will keep the community going for years just like it has for IV
The possibilities for the online portion of the game is amazing and even better R* have wisely made it its own game so in the future we could see more players added in a updated next gen version of V.
I can see this becoming the game equivalent of crack to me. I'm so eager to just jump in and get started; earn money, buy weapons, work my way up the stock market, invest in property, become the don of the GTA V underworld. Just a quick question, though, how many players per server? And is it cross-platform?

hopefully one day we can have a 50 player gta online with the mechanics of the sa-mp gamemode named pen1 (public enemy no.1). I'd be all over that.
That would be insane, and probably not in the good way.

I am excited to play GTA, but I've never gotten more than a couple hours into campaign with any of em. I just like multi really so that's my biggest reason for getting this game. That said I'm beyond hyped, and a little annoyed it's not coming until the 1st.
Seems like they could have just released the game on the 1st if it's not done.
lol i hope that hairdresser is a parody of shocantelle brown

Yeah I loved it.
Online jail if you got caught,hiring drivers,and taking on hit man missions I remember taking on a contract on a guy called the transporter who was one of the best drivers on the server took me 50mins to kill the bastard he led me all over the SA map he almost got away in a heli , but I shot it up and killed him before he could make his escape.
I m very seriously considering doing the same I was going to get a XBOX one this year and a a PS4 mid next year but this game may keep me more than entertained.

I have literally too many stories to tell from the original server (by astro), and others.
Me and my buddies were pretty known there.
He introduced amazing concepts such as roadblock missions. A race is coming, and we (the police) get a word of it. So we set up roadblocks to stop them. It was ALL kinds of amazing.
Then you had the PEN1 (public enemy no.1) after they robbed a store, and you had to catch it in a certain amount of time.
Add all that with gang deathmatches and the likes. Everything about that mode was fantastic. The engine (sa-mp) was shitty though.

I had a dream I was playing GTA V last night. Hype is reaching maximum levels.
Oddly enough in my dream I chose to play as Trevor first, but I've always said to myself if I had the option I'd choose Michael. What does this mean GAF? Do I subconsciously prefer Trevor?

Don't forget Flying Lotus supposedly having a channel too.
You can't choose who you play as first anyways so it doesn't matter.

you are right. I think a have a vision of the future, where all the hype is gone and everybody just loves gta5 for what it is - the greatest experience in their gaming life, the greatest game of the ps3 generation. Awesome! Isn't it great to exist in this very moment?
No, it's not just you. Knowing a game like this is right around the corner has jaded me me a bit on everything else I am playing, as well as other games I am looking forward to this Fall. Hell, this game makes me not even worry about waiting a few months to pick up a PS4. As it dwarfs every launch window title there is with ease.
Why do people keep wishing this? "I only want the online therefore you single player fans should be forced to wait until Oct 1st."

so are people gonna buy the single player as well?

Yes. When you buy GTAV, you get GTA Online. The only thing is that the Online will unlock two weeks later.
But yeah, you can't buy GTA Online without buying GTAV.
Does not compute.
You are buying a game with SP and unlocked MP later on.

the only thing that confuses me about this, is if we will see Michael, Franklin and Trevor in GTA Online?
The MP is berofe SP. Maybe we will see them, but just see them.
Franklin and Trevor as NPC are likely, since they've been living in LS for awhile.

OP should be updated with a quick cheat sheet of information because every page has the same annoying questions...
"So why buy the SP game if GTAO looks so much better"
"This better not cost more!!"
"Is this an MMO? What do you mean 16 players? How does that work??"
Goddamnit.
It's the same as the "ARE THESE SCREENS OF PC or XBox One??" "NO way this is current gen" crap from every trailer thread.

Grand Theft Auto: Online Fact Sheet - The Basics
- Included with a purchase of GTAV. (It does not cost extra and is not sold as a stand alone game)
- Will be unlocked with a small download on October 1st. (GTAV's release date is still Sept 17)
- The game world is persistent with hundreds of thousands of players playing online at any time, but you play in isolated instances of the game world comprised of a maximum of 16 people.
- Currently only announced for X-Box 360 and PS3

This looked pretty neat. If I interpreted the video correctly, we are to assume GTAonline has its own persistent story, for which you can create a custom character?
Yeah... see that's how you do MP without it feeling like a tacked-on chore.

He's in LS, but out of the crime game until the start of GTA V (GTA Online takes place before GTA V), so I doubt that he will be in, at least initially.

I didn't spend much time with GTA4 online, felt like a chore to get things going (on my end). But holy shiiiit this looks awesome.

Mad excited for this but I'm definitely keeping expectations in check.
Hopefully the Online world is as populated as the single player.. Red Dead having less animals online/not being able to skin them was a bummer, and every place we went to was basically a ghost town.
Not saying they're gonna cut corners for GTA Online, since it looks fully featured but... I don't wanna make up stories of things I can do in my head and be bummed out when I can't do them lol.
I'm mostly just excited to do some Reservoir Dogs shit with my friends online while blasting Kendrick in my MP3 player. I'm gonna be really antisocial this fall lol.

I'm most excited by the editor they give you for races and competitive combat.
Hopefully, as far as competitive, they allow you to use any location for the "map" and it's not a list of pre-sets. It probably will be a list of pre-sets, but I hope it isn't.
I will make Socom if given enough freedom/tools.
If they were feeling really cool, they should allow the use of weapons and co-drivers in the race editors.

I think you can use anywhere you want. The editor sounds very robust. Although they have said, out of the box on launch it will be limited, anxd then they'll be unlocking more abilities for the editor as time goes on. I'm gonna trust R* on this strategy, as you could get a lot of shit starting out and people are just creating garbage.
I still don't really understand the way this works.
So I have a garage and an appartment and money and stocks.
But I don't always play with the same guys, instead it's going to be random to some degree.
How do they prevent several people from owning the same appartment and similar stuff?

I hope it's anywhere. I will be addicted to this frigging game if it's that open and the tools are flexible enough.
The shooting model is a very solid foundation to construct some cool MP.
The most important thing imo is that they allow for respawn or round-based game types. And it would be great if they would allow you (eventually) to use different modes/mechanics (the stuff they show in co-op) like VIP and whatnot.

OP should add this too, the majority of the new info from the CVG preview that somebody on the GiantBomb forums wrote up:
- Characters from GTA V will appear in GTA Online
- GTA Online will not always be limited to Los Santos; additional locations are in the works
- You can do anything in GTA Online that you can do in GTA V, like the following: heists, co-op missions, gang attacks, death matches, impromptu deathmatch, races, tennis, golf, base jumping, shooting range, ambient events (hold ups of stores, armored van robberies, crate drops, import/export missions involving car theft, bounties that you can set on other players and people can claim), betting
- If you are killed while holding money you will lose a large portion of it, and others can steal it. Use banks to keep money safe
- An in-game smartphone can call your friends whether they are in GTA Online or GTA V. You can also use this to set waypoints for your friends. While using the phone, your avatar moves their lips with yours.
- While you are driving, you can choose to grant someone else permission over the radio
- In-game AI will respond to how aggressive you are on your mic (as in, if you're shouting during a robbery, the AI will react and speed up/become more frightened)
Whoever sets up a heist decides who gets what cut of the final money when that money is obtained - Garages range from two car ports to 10 car ports
- Cars can have retractable roofs controlled by the player through the Interaction menu
- Missions can be accessed by physical markers or through a quickmatch sort of menu
- User-made missions can be favorited and rated
- You can assign other players certain roles in missions based on the particular abilities they have leveled up
- You can share cash, weapons and ammunition with other players
- If a another player or friend feels they got stiffed in the amount of cash shared they can hire a hitman to take you out
- There are stealth kills. The game tracks the amount of noise your character is making, and the AI will respond accordingly
- You can steal physical items. During the demo, a mission was done in which a bike warehouse was robbed. The bikes had to be transported out in a large truck
- "RP" are the points you get to level up your character
- You can use physical gestures, such as flipping the bird via the Interaction menu. The example given was a player asked another player for a ride who agreed and called him over, but when the player got to the car he got flipped off and the other player drove off.
- If you're without a ride you can call Taxis, a friend or an "employee to come out and give you a ride or bring a car
- All of your info/communications in the game appear in the "Feed." Rockstar mentioned this as a sort of Twitter for GTA Online
- You can purchase insurance for your car. By insuring your vehicle, if it gets destroyed or stolen, you can have it replaced by paying a small premium
- Police helicopters have cameras mounted to the front of them. In real time, you can watch on live TV (on the news channel in your apartment) players with a high wanted level being chased by the police. There are additional channels with programs such as a crime noir show
- Heists can have up to 20 different components. A heist is mentioned where a Titan (largest aircraft) is guarded by "Maryweather" (sp?). The Titan is indeed a flyable aircraft
There is a heli-pad on the roof of (at least) the largest AmmuNation and the store can also be accessed from there - Off the west coast of Los Santos, there is an another island with lots of buildings. This has not been seen before, but the folks at CVG saw it from afar
- There is a "passive" mode or "Haven" where you cannot shoot or be shot
- You can use the Interaction menu to wear a mask during hold ups so that when you get away taking off the mask lowers your wanted level
- For a brief time when you're wanted you can see on the radar the cop's vision cone, ala MGS/Driver, or the Detection Zone.

I'm guessing you get to your apartment by elevator, so people who buy the same property will still be going to their own. That's the only way I can think of it working, at least.
There's probably going to be apartment blocks with millions of rooms. You decide which "room" you want to enter. Garages will probably work the same. Player 1 enters "his garage" and his cars load up. He exits and Player 2 enters "his garage" and his cars load up.

Word is that a full list of MP modes will be unlocked/added to it, including -- potentially -- custom heists.
